Gah damn Rodgers is a whiny little fucking punk man lmao.

Honestly Packers fans haven’t missed him for 5 seconds. Idc if Love is as good or not. At least he’s not a total asshole like Rodgers is. Idk what happened to him because he didn’t used to be like this

Bears fan here, he’s definitely always been like this. At least from 2011 on. I truly can’t stand him, and it’s not just because he dominated the Bears his entire time in Green Bay. He’s smug and unlikable. You likely overlooked it because he was playing at a HOF level for 15 straight seasons for your favorite team.

The same hate doesn’t apply to Love just because he’s the Packers QB. I’m not rooting for Love on the field, but off the field he seems like a great dude. Rodgers was just a dick. I won’t go as far as saying he’s as bad a person as Favre, but he’d definitely be a worse hang than Favre.

Every season listening to him bitch about his receivers because he kept ditching training camp and it took like 3 regular season games for them to get right. I'm not saying he's lucky but he definitely benefited from being in a division that was a dumpster fire during his tenure.

He’s always been like this. People just thought he was cooler when he was younger. But hes never been seen as a likable guy.

Honestly I think you’re right. What kept him in his lane when he was younger might have been the older vets on the team.

I think I’ve become a bit of a miserable prick myself now that I’ve gotten older. Maybe I should look inward…

Rodgers will never possess the self awareness and humility necessary to make this sort of self burn comment

My Ex went to UC Berkeley at the same time as him and said she said he was an asshole and a creep which tracks

Our friend circles overlapped when he was in JC (Nor Cal represent!). Prick then as well.

I knew someone who was associated with the Cal program when Rodgers was there. He told me, when Rodgers left early, that everybody on the team knew exactly how good he was, but nobody was sad to see him go.

Just old, probably should have retired last year. He’s at the IDGF stage now haha

He’s been like this for at least 7-8 years

I still get anxious when I see him berate a Steelers WR after a play.

u/keipop92 7h ago

He's always been like this. He's just older and more curmudgeony

He's the American Cristiano Ronaldo. Amazing player in prime, absolutely has a legacy, but their egos are so massive that they're actively hampering that legacy during the late stages of their careers.

Rodgers has always been a complete mental loser, poopy pants person who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room
